Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 522 - 521: So What If I Die?

"Since I first met you, you said you were waiting for someone. Now, four years have passed, and you’re still waiting." Duan Yunfei smiled, "Is the person you’re waiting for not back yet, or unwilling to come back?"

Fu Junyan’s smile at the corner of his lips slightly faded, and he laughed at himself, "Maybe both."

"Rumor has it that General Fu is fond of Prime Minister Du’s second daughter, Du Bingxue, but she is dedicated to medicine and often travels among the commoners, unwilling to return home..." Le Zhao paused, looked at him, and smiled, "Could it be that the person General Fu is waiting for is the second young lady of the Prime Minister’s Mansion?"

Fu Junyan did not answer Le Zhao’s question, but corrected his address, "Young Master Le, it might be better not to call me General. If you don’t mind, you can just call me Junyan, like Yunfei."

He then looked towards Shen Qinglan and said, "When I saw you at the inn earlier, I was reminded of the first time I met Bingxue."

"Why?" Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows.

Does she look very much like that Du Bingxue?

"Miss Shen, don’t misunderstand," Fu Junyan smiled, "You two don’t look alike, it’s just that your attire is a bit similar. Like you, she also preferred plain clothes and white dresses."

Shen Qinglan smiled and said nothing more.

Duan Yunfei sighed softly, "If she never comes back, how long do you intend to wait?"

"If she doesn’t come back, then I’ll go find her." Fu Junyan smiled indifferently, "She is the woman Fu Junyan has chosen. Even if it’s the ends of the earth, I will bring her back."

Le Zhao chuckled lightly, "Who would have thought that the National Guardian General, feared by many, is such a passionate person."

Fu Junyan looked at him and smiled leisurely but did not respond.

"General Fu, why did you kill those merchants?" Xuan Ying asked curiously. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Fu Junyan stood up, looked at the bamboo forest not far away, and said sharply, "Because they all deserve to die."

"What did they do?" Xuan Ying asked again.

Fu Junyan said, "Some of them exploited the commoners, some harmed the lives of the people for profit, and others, even disregarded the law by taking commoners’ daughters as concubines."

He turned around and looked at them with a deep voice, "The one who died today, when not drunk, had someone hold a ten-year-old child in a water tank until the child suffocated, all because the child soiled one of his worn-out shoes."

He laughed coldly, "They collude with officials and merchants, leaving the child’s mother with no way to seek justice, eventually leading her to hang herself with a length of white silk at home. Tell me, should such people not die?"

"They should die!" Xuan Ying hit the stone table, ignoring the pain, "People like them wouldn’t die enough even if they died ten thousand times!"

"Right?" Fu Junyan curled his lips in a smile, "I think so too, killing him with one blow was already cheap for him."

Duan Yunfei smiled slightly, "I thought you wanted to kill those merchants so that the common people could also do business."

"Maybe both," Fu Junyan sat back down, "I just want the people of Nanfeng Country to be like those in Yunye Country, free to trade and live stable lives."

Duan Yunfei raised his eyebrows, "Do you think, with just your own strength, this matter can be accomplished?"

"I’m not alone!" Fu Junyan looked at him and said, "Apart from me, there are millions of people in Nanfeng Country, and ... Bingxue."

Duan Yunfei said softly, "Then I can only wish you an early realization of your wish here."

"Don’t doubt it," Fu Junyan smiled, "What I’m going to do, as long as it can’t be accomplished in a day, I’ll keep doing it."

"I didn’t say I don’t believe it," Duan Yunfei said, "It’s just that this path is so arduous that you might even lose your life. Are you sure you can do it?"

Fu Junyan said indifferently, "This is my wish, and also Bingxue’s long-standing hope. If my life can exchange for the well-being of the people and fulfill Bingxue’s wish, then what does it matter if I die?"
